Hi, I'm Mandi.

Please like and subscribe, and tomorrow you will have the best news!

Growing up, we moved around a lot because my parents were journalists.

I got really good at making friends quickly, but holding on to any of them was tough since I always ended up leaving.

No matter how many of my so -called besties promised they'd stay in touch, after a while, they never did.

It was heartbreaking every time.

One day, Mom came home with big news.

She got a job in Washington, D .C for a national newspaper, and we wouldn't have to move anymore.

I was so excited.

Finally, I would have rooms of her own to decorate.

make friends that would last.

It was a dream.

When I started at my new high school, I was nervous.

I had to make an amazing first impression because this one had to stick.

When I sat down at my desk in the homeroom, the other kids looked at me like I was an alien.

Until a pretty brunette girl sat down next to me.

"Hey, I'm Jasmine." "Love your jeans, where'd you get them?" "Um, a thrift store in New York?" "Oh my god,

is that where you're from?" "Sort of." I told her all about life on the road, and we hit it off right away.

I could tell she was popular, and it was easy to see why.

Very involved in all sorts of clubs and sports.

So charming and top two of our class.

She was always competing for the top spot against this one kid, Chase.

She warned me about how annoying he was, and I totally agreed.

I was stuck next to him in math class, and he was always talking and distracting me from taking notes.

From the second we met, Jasmine invited me everywhere with her and her friends.

We did our homework together, ate lunch, had sleepovers.

It was amazing!

Soon after I started school, Jasmine convinced me to come to her French club to see if I wanted to join.

She introduced me to her friend Camille and we had so much fun.

We watched French movies and practiced speaking with each other.

I joined immediately.

They were going to choose two students for a summer study abroad in Paris.

I just knew it would be a really smart move for my future.

One day, I went to Camille's house to study with her, and suddenly the cutest boy I'd ever seen walked into her kitchen.

Hey, butthead.

Um, excuse me?

little sister.

Ugh, don't listen to him.

I'm Ryan.

You must be the famous Mandy I've heard so much about.

Don't you have somewhere else to be?

Nowhere better than right where Mandy is.

Then he smiled the most perfect smile I'd ever seen.

I could have melted into a puddle right there.

The next day at French Club, I told Jasmine all about him.

Oh my god, Jazz, he's on the soccer team, good at school.

Wow, he sounds like...

"The perfect package?

OMG, he's here !" She turned to see Ryan walk into the room right then.

Suddenly, her eyes turned to ice in front of me.

Ryan, he's my ex.

Oh, but I mean, if you like him, I guess...

No, no, of course, I wouldn't.

Oh, good, because it'd be so weird.

I'm so glad we're friends.

What are you all talking about?

Oh, nothing.

It's, um, nice to see you again.

Since when are you in French Club?

Since I found out Mandy joined.

It was so awkward, I thought I'd die.

clapped her hands for announcement time.

"For our upcoming parents' night, we will be breaking off into pairs to research and cook a classic French dish." She started grouping us and,

surprise, surprise, I got paired with Ryan.

For just a second, I thought I could see the ice return to Jasmine's eyes, but she blinked and it was gone.

I felt sort of guilty that I'd be spending so much time with Ryan, but I vowed to keep my promise to Jasmine.

Soon him all night would be the perfect punishment for me.

A few days later, Ryan and I had to get together at his house to make chocolate mousse.

My favorite.

Have you ever made this before?

No, but I've watched my dad make it, so I think I...

Just then, I started the mixer.

It started whipping everything up so fast that our chocolate mixture started flying out of the bowl.

Soon, we were both covered in chocolate.

I was mortified, but Ryan just laughed and swiped some chocolate off my nose.

Looks good to me.

to sit next to Chatterbox Chase all night could ruin my mood.

After that, Ryan started asking me to hang out more and more, Soccer games, study sessions, sometimes even trips for ice cream after.

He was really funny, and we liked all the same books.

I could tell he liked me, and I was really starting to like him, but I couldn't betray Jasmine.

When I told my mom about it, she thought I was being ridiculous.

I don't think Jasmine really has your best interests at heart, Mandy.

She was my first friend here, but that doesn't make her a good friend.

What kind of friend keeps you from being with someone you really like?

I was surprised the next day at lunch when our group started talking about boys to hear Jasmine exclaim, "Who needs 'em?

I've so moved on from Ryan.

I mean, we only dated a few weeks anyway.

Mandy, you can have him for all I care." I was elated to hear her say that.

But now, I was nervous.

I'd never really pursued anyone before.

But all the signs were there, and I decided to go for it.

Soon after, Ryan hurt his ankle at a soccer match and had to leave the field.

We lost.

given her blessing.

When I walked into his living room with some cheery daisies, his whole face lit up and he pulled me down to the couch in a huge hug.

When we pulled away, I felt like I was falling into his beautiful brown eyes.

I thought for just a second.

I might get my first real kiss, but I chickened out.

I, um, brought some ice cream too, for Sundays.

100

You're the best, you know that?

101

We watched TV and ate way too much ice cream, but things felt a little different.

102

He was texting almost constantly when he usually was always talking to me nonstop.

103

I wondered if I had ruined things by pulling away earlier.

104

I tried to ignore it, but when my mom came to get me, I was sort of glad to leave.

105

For the next few days, Paris trip, but I was glad for the distraction

106

when Jasmine announced her birthday party to the whole class." Mini -golf this weekend.

107

My birthday wish list is on all the invites.

108

You going? Of course.

109

Jazz is my best friend.

110

Sure she is.

111

"Cryptic much?

112

You're so weird.

113

I caught up with her in the hallway after.

114

Can I hitch a ride to your party?" This will be so fun.

115

I already have your gift.

116

My carpool is full already.

117

Oh, okay.

118

I'll just.. but she was already halfway down the hall, leaving me in her dust.

119

I figured she was just distracted about her party and tried not to think about her weird behavior.

120

I texted Ryan to see if he and Camille wanted to carpool, but all I got were three typing bubbles in response.

121

And then, nothing.

122

In fact, I was just distracted about her party and tried I didn't hear anything from anyone all weekend.

123

What was going on?

124

On Saturday, when my mom dropped me off at mini golf, a gift in hand for Jasmine, I pasted a big smile on my face as I got out of the car.

125

Chase waved to me and smiled.

126

He really wasn't so annoying, maybe just a little awkward.

127

As we walked into the party room, imagine my shock when I saw Jasmine standing there, holding hands with none other than...

128

Ryan?

129

A pit dropped to the bottom of my stomach.

130

When she leaned over to kiss him, I thought I'd die.

131

All I wanted to do was run home and curl up under the covers, but I couldn't.

132

It was Jasmine's birthday, my best friend.

133

Still, I was mortified.

134

together.

135

Now, he wouldn't even look at me.

136

As everyone started pairing off and heading to the golf course, I realized I didn't have a partner.

137

Blinking back tears, I suddenly felt a warm hand on my shoulder.

138

"Hey, uh, let's pair up for a round?" "Um, sure." Chase and I played through, and even though I had a pit in my stomach, we actually had a lot of fun.

139

He was pretty good, and even when I kept missing my shots, He'd sneak over it and nudge it in with his foot and pretend he hadn't.

140

When we went inside for Jasmine's cake, I tried to put on a brave face, But when Ryan leaned over to help her blow out her birthday candles,

141

and Jasmine turned to smile at me with a gleam in her eye like nothing was wrong, I knew I had to leave.

142

I snuck out to the bathroom to call my mom to get me, and as soon as I got into her car, burst into tears and cried all the way home.

143

And even though Chase texted me to check on me, and Camille did too, the one person who I actually thought would worry enough to reach out never did.

144

I didn't hear from Jasmine until Monday in homeroom.

145

"Mandy, why'd you leave my party?

146

The cake was so good." "Why did I leave?" Jasmine?

147

What?

148

You have to know why I left.

149

I don't know what you're talking about.

150

You knew I liked Ryan.

151

You told me you'd moved on.

152

And all of a sudden you show up with him without telling me?

153

How can you be mad?

154

He was my boyfriend.

155

Your ex -boyfriend that you said I could pursue.

156

Why tell me that if you wanted him back all along?

157

See, this is why we kept it quiet.

158

We knew you'd be upset.

159

What?

160

We got back together the day he got hurt at his soccer match.

161

He wanted to tell you, but we all knew you'd just be upset.

162

So you've just been lying to me for weeks?

163

All of you?

164

"Jazz, how am I supposed to trust anything any of you say?" "All's fair in love and war." And with that, she flipped her hair over her shoulder and switched desks.

165

I was devastated.

166

My first real friend and everything had gotten so messed up.

167

What had I missed?

168

When I saw Ryan walking home from school, I sped up to catch him.

169

"What the heck, Ryan?

170

I thought we liked each other.

171

And then you show up like that with Jasmine and totally blindside me?

172

I didn't know you liked me." You knew I liked you.

173

There have been several moments, and I didn't just imagine that you liked me too.

174

I did, but you never said anything.

175

Well, neither did you.

176

"And then when Jasmine came to me after I got hurt saying that she wanted to get back together, why would I turn her down when I wasn't even the one to break up with her?" "Like me, don't like me.

177

Fine, but you could have had the decency to say something before just showing up like that and humiliating me.

178

I deserve better than that.

179

I tried to put on a brave face at school.

180

After all, hadn't I been a lone wolf for my whole life?

181

But I'd gotten so used to having a friend at school that I suddenly felt the absence.

182

Luckily, Chase came to sit by me the first time he saw me sitting alone at lunch.

183

I couldn't see why I'd hated him so much for so long, other than the fact that Jasmine didn't like him.

184

He was so sweet and really smart.

185

Even though I avoided Jasmine and Ryan at all costs, I refused to quit French Club.

186

As the weather got nicer, Chase tried to get me to come out to soccer games, parties, concerts, but my sole focus was on school.

187

I was more determined than ever to get one of the spots to go to Paris

188

and prayed that Jasmine wouldn't get the other one, Chase became my favorite study buddy.

189

He was almost as determined as I was for me to win the top spot on the Paris trip.

190

On the last day of school, our report cards came out.

191

Straight A's.

192

Chase and I got big ice cream sundaes after school to celebrate.

193

As I looked across the table at him, I thought about everything that had happened with Jasmine and Ryan

194

and our whole big group and I decided I was so glad to have one actual good friend, instead of a bunch of not -so -great ones.

195

Afterwards, Chase and I walked down the National Mall as the sun set.

196

"So, Mr. Number One in the class, how does it feel?" "I'm just glad to have beat her, to be honest.

197

Especially after everything that happened with you." "I can take care of myself." "I know.

198

But from day one, you seemed so nice

199

and I tried to make friends with you so quickly

200

because I knew she'd come after you right away." "What do you mean?

201

Jasmine and I have been in the same class since kindergarten.

202

She has always kept the girls she was most afraid of close.

203

You know, keep your friends close and your enemies closer." "But I was never her enemy." of the smart, pretty girls in our grade.

204

Even if you don't see it, trust me, to her, you were a threat.

205

Wow, I had no idea.

206

But if I had to go through all that to become friends with you, it was worth it.

207

Suddenly, my phone rang.

208

It was Madame de la Croix.

209

Hello?

210

Mandy!

211

I'm pleased to inform you that you have been selected for the summer study abroad in Paris.

212

"Pack your bags, mademoiselle.

213

I am so proud." "Oh wow, thank you so much, I mean, merci beaucoup." When we hung up, I squealed.

214

"Oh my god, I'm gonna have a stamp in my passport." Suddenly, Chase's phone rang, and when he saw the caller ID, he looked up at me with a gleam in his eye.

215

I could barely contain my excitement.

216

And when he finally said thank you and hung up, he turned to me with a huge smile.

217

"Looks like I'll have a matching stamp." "Paris, together?" I threw my arms around the window.

218

him, overjoyed to be off on a big adventure with my first real friend.

FOR YOU

這個影片適合誰看？

如果你是初中級英語學習者，想通過真實對話提升英語口語練習，或者喜歡用輕鬆故事學英語，那麼這個影片再合適不過了！它的語速適中，內容貼近校園生活，非常適合用來做“影子跟讀”（shadow speech）練習。跟著影片裡的對話模仿，既能積累日常表達，又能培養語感，簡直是看YouTube學英語的好素材！

值得借鑑的單詞和習語

影片裡有不少實用表達，快記下來吧：

hit it off：一見如故。比如影片裡Mandi和Jasmine初次見面就聊得很投機，就可以說“They hit it off right away”。
the perfect package：完美人選。用來形容某人各方面都很優秀，像Ryan又帥又會踢球，就是“the perfect package”。
melt into a puddle：（因害羞或心動）渾身發軟。Mandi看到Ryan的笑容時的反應，用這個短語特別生動。

如何練好發音？

影片中Mandi的發音清晰自然，很適合用來練習英語影子跟讀。注意以下兩點：一是連讀，比如“sort of”會讀成“sorta”，“got a job”會連讀成“gotta job”，模仿時要跟上這種流暢感；二是語調，她在講激動的事情時（比如終於不用搬家）語調會升高，而講傷心事（比如朋友失聯）時則會降低。建議用“shadow speak”法，暫停影片，逐句模仿她的語氣和節奏，堅持一週，你的口語會更自然！

記住，學英語就是要多聽多說，利用好這些有趣的影片，每天花10分鐘影子跟讀，你的英語口語練習一定會有進步。加油，你可以的！

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	I've heard · Have you ever made · I've watched
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	was mortified · was elated · was just distracted
過去進行時 was/were + -ing — 過去某一時刻正在進行的動作	was heartbreaking · was always competing · was always talking
最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的	the best · the cutest · the most perfect

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
